Q104949
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c
SUMMARY
Word versions 6.0, 6.0a, and 6.0c support conversion to and/or from a number of foreign file formats, including word processor, spreadsheet, and database files. Word interprets some foreign formats internally and others through use of external converter files. Word now interprets database formats using Open Database Connectivity (ODBC).
A list of supported formats is included below. Support for file formats listed beneath the heading "CONVERTERS SUPPLIED WITH WORD" is included in your Word package.
- For information on how to obtain converters supplied independently, see the Knowledge Base article reference included with the converter name below.

Word 6.0 also installs a converter (MSWORD6.CNV) that other Microsoft applications (namely, Microsoft Works for Windows, Microsoft PowerPoint for Windows, Microsoft Publisher for Windows) can use to read Word 6.0 documents. These applications share the converters that are installed, by default, in the MSAPPS\TEXTCONV subdirectory of your Windows program directory. Once installed, the converter is automatically available to any of the above applications that you have on your computer. Word 6.0 itself does not use this converter.
